I feel like... I am a thinker. I think... a lot. Silly, right? I dunno.... But I can never really tell anyone what I really think about. I feel... weird. Like I'm all spiritual and such. Which is SSOO not a bad thing AT ALL, just my friends aren't those type of people. But I still like thinking. I love debates. I'll give you one:
Which is better for the environment: Paper towels or air dryers?
My choice is an air dryer. The reason being that if we look in the right place, there is way more energy than paper available. To make air dryers, we use only energy, too. To make paper towels, you have to use energy to cut down the trees, and process the trees and such, then ship them and package them. So you're using two resources for these instead of one. Air dryers can be used over and over and over again as well, so you really only need one per bathroom. Paper towels are used once, then thrown away. It's such a waste. Even recycling them isn't enough. We should quit using them all together. And why do we like paper towels better? Because they're faster. Sitting under an air dryer for an extra 20 seconds is going to kill us? What will kill us is cutting down all those trees. You know, the trees that give us the oxygen we breathe? And as for the energy for the air dryers, use solar energy. The sun will never run out energy. You ever seen the sun chips commercial? "In 30 seconds, the sun's rays provide enough energy to power the whole world, for a day." I think we should be using some of it! That's a waste, for sure.
Hope you agree with me. Thanks for reading.
